There’s Something About Mary

submitted by: Jonathan Richman

Well his friends would say stop whining
They’ve had enough of that
His friends would say stop pining
There’s other girls to look at well,
They’ve tried to set him up with
Tiffany and indigo
But there’s something about Mary
That they don’t know Mary
There’s just something about Mary

Well, his friends say
Look, life’s no fairy tale
That he should have some fun,
He’s suffered long enough
Well, they may know about domestic
And imported ale
But they don’t know a thing about love

Well, his friends would say he’s dreaming,
And living in the past
But they’ve never fallen in love,
So his friends need not be asked

His friends would say,
Be reasonable,
His friends would say let go,
But there’s something about Mary
That they don’t know
Mary
There’s just something about Mary
